Call me Marco. I’m a composer and music producer based in Venice, Italy.

My journey began at the Conservatory of Brescia, where I studied piano and classical composition. After high school, I briefly set music aside and enrolled in Chinese for Economics and Law at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice. I even spent time in Guangzhou, living with the wonderful Lee family — but while I was there, I realized I couldn’t live without making music. That moment brought me back to what I knew was my true path.

Since then, I’ve explored a wide range of genres — from Funk and Soul to Hip Hop.

Eventually, I found my voice in film scoring, where I combine the orchestral techniques of my classical training with modern production to create immersive, story-driven soundscapes. My background as a record producer brings a distinctive edge to my scores — one that bridges the intuitive and the technical, the rhythmic, the textural, and the melodic.

The road hasn’t been linear. It took time, experimentation, and incredible mentors to shape the voice I have today. I also worked for a globally known American company, gaining experience in project management, marketing, and leadership — skills that now strengthen my creative collaborations.

Today, I partner with filmmakers, artists, and storytellers to build musical worlds that elevate emotion, tension, and atmosphere. I believe the best results come from deep listening, trust, and a shared vision.

Thanks for being here.
